As we had no car we booked Casa Che because it was near the shops,near the sandy beach, and near the bus station. A very good base for walking to see a different area from Funchal. We were offered a welcoming snack plus some basic provisions eg milk coffee etc. The other reviews are exactly right .

My husband and I have just returned from a wonderful 9 nights staying in Casa Che.Cidalia, the owner, was extremely helpful during the booking process, answering all my questions and sending the paperwork quickly and efficiently.She offered us taxi transport from the airport and we were met by Carlos and whisked to the apartment where Cidalia welcomed us with a bottle of chilled rose wine and a light lunch. She showed us around the apartment and advised us on how to operate all the equipment. She also advised on the location of the local supermarkets and recommended some excellent restaurants. We were thrilled by all the little 'extras' she had so thoughfully included in the rental.Throughout our stay Cidalia and Kevin were very kind and helpful and made us feel most welcome.The apartment is very comfortably furnished with distinctive artwork on the walls and beautiful displays of Murano glass, interesting antique plates and azulejios. There are many books of local interest and a library of books and games should you get a rainy day! There is also an ipod with a docking station and a good variety of TV channels.The kitchen is light and airy and beautifully equiped with everything you could possibly need. There are even beach towels and beach mats for guests use.The location is excellent being only one block back from the sea and very near a bus stop.We never needed to use the bus because Carlos, the taxi driver, turned out to be an absolute godsend. He was extremely kind, helpful and reliable. His charges were very reasonable. We used his transport to take us to take us to the local restaurant, to Funchal and to do a tour of the central and eastern part of Madeira, not forgetting our return trip to the airport.Machico is a lovely place with a beautiful golden sandy beach and an interesting harbour. There are many good walking areas nearby. Sao Laurenco peninsula being particularly spectacular!We just loved staying in Casa Che and meeting Cidalia, Kevin and Carlos. We hope to return next year. Thank you all for everything! Jean & Robbie

Appartments are great! Comfortable with everything you need. In reall life they are even better than on photo. Very close to the ocean. Cidalia (owner) is very welcome and kind person. She helped us a lot to organize our time on Madeira. Machico is wonderfull place, calm and nice. Very convinient for the stay on Madeira, with good connection to all places of interest. Next time on we will stay only in Casa Che!

What an incredible experience. The owners are hospitable, friendly and accommodating, and always willing to go the extra mile to make your stay more enjoyable. Cidalia and Kevin, thank you for everything. Your apartment is fantastic! The photos show the apartment exactly as it is - no misleading! Close to the beach, local shops and public transport. Quiet and peaceful, yet close enough to travel to Funchal for a bit of noise, if needed. I highly recommend this holiday apartment to anyone wanting to experience the island from Machico. Thanks again guys! We'll be back... P,J and the girls in Cape Town

We couldn't of stayed at a better place on the island of madeira. Machico is a beautiful quaint town. The apartment is close to the sandy beach and close to shops and restaurants. THe apartment is modern and beautifully decorated. Cidalia and Kevin, make you feel right at home and were such gracious hosts. We had such a wonderful holiday. It is the perfect place if you have children. We hope to be back.
